and accurate colors of OLED Asus has revealed a few new gaming monitors over at Computex 2026 , but the model that's turning heads is a high-end OLED offering for competitive gamers, which is billed as a "defining moment for esports displays".

Asus announced the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace, which is a 24.5-inch
monitor with a 1080p resolution and a very fast 540Hz refresh rate. Other specs that make this screen great for fast-paced competitive gamers include a 0.02ms response time and G-Sync support. It's a tandem OLED panel, meaning
the screen is built with two layers. As Asus notes, that gives it a 15%
higher brightness level compared to a conventional OLED, not to mention a longer lifespan (some 60% longer according to the monitor maker). Latest Videos From Watch full video here: You may like MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 gaming monitor review Kiss OLED brightness issues goodbye, thanks to MSI's

Asus boasts: "As the very first OLED monitor to join our flagship Ace lineup, it brings together cuttingedge panel technology and purposebuilt esports tuning to meet the exacting demands of professional gamers."

The company added: "We worked hand in hand with global tournament organizers like PGL and Blast to collect feedback from esports pros across the world. Their suggestions helped us develop this next-generation OLED esports
monitor, and we can't wait to get this absolute weapon into the hands of gamers everywhere."

We don't yet have a release date or a price, but hopefully Asus will furnish us with those details soon enough. Analysis: a no-compromise esports screen (Image credit: Asus) Why does this monitor have some gamers so excited ? Because it offers 540Hz at what many consider to be the perfect, more compact size for competitive gaming, all in an OLED display with a resolution of 1080p.

It's ticking a lot of boxes because it's great for super-smooth performance with shooters (or other competitive games), and yet it offers all the
vibrancy of OLED, and far superior viewing angles compared to high refresh rate TN panels. Indeed, you get 10-bit color and 99.5% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut with this Asus monitor, and VESA DisplayHDR 600 True Black.

So, the upshot is a gaming monitor with very accurate and punchy colors, blending the strengths of OLED with an extremely fast refresh rate.

There's a note of disappointment from some that it isn't 1440p or that the XG259QWPG doesn't offer a dual mode choice of 1080p or 1440p but really, pro gamers aren't going to want to up that resolution beyond Full HD (because
it's then much more difficult to get blisteringly high frame rates). Check
